  • Integrate generation with plant systems, 34.5 kV collect/export, and downstream data center loads
  • Ensure compliance with relevant standards (NERC, ERCOT, IEEE, NEC, NFPA, UL) and support permitting and utility coordination
  • Support equipment specification, vendor selection, factory testing, site commissioning, and energization
  • Conduct failure mode analysis (FMEA), root cause investigations, and reliability modeling to achieve extreme uptime targets
